This album is the follow-up to the self titled Metal Church but this one didn't quite kick my ass as hard as the debut. The Dark has some spit and polish to it, sacrificing the rawness of the debut for a more streamlined, somewhat "radio-friendly" recording. Don't get me wrong, this album is good but I think Metal Church could do it better.

Notice that little "8" symbol next to my comment? About that fantastic. And you can add a 0.5 to it an' all.

My classmates passing around this album on those days...almost everyone in the class has listened to this album...since then, no one ever talked about Metal Church anymore...until I left the school. Ha Ha...what a boring band.
